Naples. Local police officers intervened quickly to catch a thief who stole two gold necklaces from a tourist.
Yesterday afternoon, a Milanese tourist was the victim of a snatch theft while walking on Via San Carlo, at the intersection with Piazza Trieste and Trento. A man snatched two gold necklaces worth about 400 euros from her neck and then fled through the nearby alleys.
The episode did not go unnoticed. The immediate alarm attracted the attention of the Local Police officers, Chiaia Operative Units and IAES (Environmental Investigation and Social Emergencies), who were nearby.
